3. Some countries have managed to phase out coal power and some of these have turned to Hydro and Nuclear.
4. Long haul passenger planes use a lot of power to get off the ground. interested to hear how many kW that takes from anyone in the know? Batteries might be possible in the right size plane - how about a 300 seater?
5. People say they had no choice however the reality is they do - the alternative might mean they are worse off though - still a choice.
6. Any change to the status quo is at a price and someone has to foot the bill.
Any others?
ps. missed a couple:
There is an excellent bottle of Scotch available if anyone is interested in betting on:
1. 99.99% of BITRE analysts have never dropped a gearbox and changed a clutch.
or
2. In 5 years time the BITRE forecasts are flawed and proven wrong. (the ROI is a bit long on this one).
